| The next number was a song, The
| Little Tradesmen," by the College
! minim choir. When the curtain rose
| the audience found number OF pupils
at work at different occupations. For
J instance, one was repairing a barrel,
another saving piece OF wood, another
/ working at an anvil, while others were
/ occupied saddle making, butchering,
shoemaking, tailoring, painting, etc.
| They sang as they worked, and so cap
tivated the audience that an encore was
| insisted upon and responded to. A dia-
logue, "Poor George" was given by five
| bows in a manner which pleased the
audience very much. George Cooper,
who took the leading part, sang song
! from behind the scenes with fine effect.
The College junior orchestra next
| played a selection, "Le Val d'AmOur."
It's members are: First violins, ThOs
| Sylvia, James Lloyd and FIR. Bertelmann !;
second violins, g. Long and Jas. Holt :;
third violins, p. Sylvia and c. Long J;
flute, II. Bertelmann; clariOnet, VIM.
Cuelho; Cornet, James Thompson !;
double bass, John Aiu. Their playing
was of high order and quite surprise,
and showed that great pains had been
taken in their instruction. The clarionet
playing of VIM. Cuelho deserves special
mention. A laughing chorus by the
College choir, consisting of some fifty
pupils, was very well rendered.
In The Great Elixir the audience
enjoyed considerable fun. Eli Crawford
personated DR.. Virgins, a quack, who
had a wonderful medicine to sell. 1t
cured in every instance save one.
Charles, a chemist, taken by Thomas
Sylvia, had analysed it and found it was
worthless. The "Doctor," to save ex-
posture, had to sign paper to the effect
that it was so. The play was exceeding
ly we'll given and the stage settings were
very appropriate.
The second part opened with the over
ture, ''Poet and Peasant" magnifcently
played by the College orchestra. Its
difficulties were entirely overcome by
all the players. A chorus, "Bird of the
North" by the College choir, was nicely
sung. Particular attention must be
made of the singing of George Cooper.
The little fellow has a sweet voice and
knows how to use it. He sustained the
solo part in a very creditable manner.
Later on the choir gave another chorus,
Come Where the Lilies Bloom, D." and in
this little Cooper gave fresh evidence of
his vocal powers.
The concluding number on the pro-
gramme was drama in two acts, en-
titled "The Enchanted Violin" The
principal character was leo, servant,
personated by James Lloyd. He played
his part to perfection, and was several
times applauded for his efforts. Vincent
Fernandez as the Miser kept the audience
in good humor. His dancing was too
funny for anything. VIM. Cuelho as the
Dwarf and Jas. Thompson as Tamorante
the play the large audience was kept in
one continual roar of laughter.
The exhibition was of very pleasing
nature throughout, and though the ex-
ercises lasted about three hours they
were of so varied a character that the
large audience gave no signs of weari-
ness. Brother Bertram and his able as
sistants are to be highly congratulated
upon the success of the afternoons en-
tainment. They must have labored hard |
to bring the pupils to such state of per- |
lection.
CONGRATULAToRY REMARKS.
The Hon. Charles r. Bishop was then !
called upon to make few remarks He !
said he had listened with much |
pleasure to the charming music. |
Whatever one undertakes it should !
be done with thoroughness. 1t
was very evident that the teachers
had taken great pains with their pupils,
and that the latter had been very at
tentive. The exercises had been very
creditable to all concerned, and he con-
them upon the exhibition. 4
year ago he listened to the closing exer-
Uses, and then heard some of the bows
speak in English who had also spoken
again to-day. They had made good inn
orovement in their pronunciation of
English. He congratulated the teachers
md all connected with the school, He
ioped they would all enjoy their vaca-
ion and return with fresh vigOr to resume
heir studies.
The Lord Bishop of Olba thanked the
arge audience for their presence. It
vas very gratifying to see that so many
ook an interest in the work of the
chool, and especially was it so to the
lithful and devoted teachers.
